I'm a hardcore B&M fanboy, but I agree that they do have some coasters that can be considered as boring. Sheikra minus the first drop and the immelman, is not the most exciting coaster. I wasn't fond of Vortex at Carowinds either, but you're standing on that one, so it's always got that going for it.

What impresses me about B&M is their ability to design a coaster with low impact and blend it into the existing architecture.
Hollywood Dream at USJ, for example.

They're probably the best fit for this project, if it is indeed going to be a coaster. JP isn't exactly the easiest spot to plop a coaster down, but if anyone could do it, it'd be them.

The problem with a lot of B&Ms is that they follow the same formula. Drop, loop, dive loop, zero g roll, cobra roll, brakes and then either a loop and corkscrew or two corkscrews.

I love Mako. It is near perfect for what I want a coaster to do. I also think After Burner in Carowinds is a great coaster. I think Kraken is boring.

I think Mako is easily the best coaster in Orlando. I'd love to see one here but I don't think they've got the room and it could possibly ruin the landscape in IOA and it's probably better served in the new park.

Not so sure about that anymore. That would make two back-to-back launch coasters from the same company, and I don’t see Universal doing that.

Universal is still the company that added Transformers within walking distance of Spider-Man, Fast & Furious within walking distance of Kong, and has two fairly traditional simulators right next to each other at USF.

I don't think qualms about building back-t0-back coasters with launches would stop them.

I hope we don't end up seeing another giant white box in the land. I pretty fully believe that JPRA is out of place in the land already

Based on the tidbits that have been put out there, I would be extremely surprised if there's a showbuilding of any sort involved in this project. It's going to be a minimally-themed, high-thrill coaster, per insiders.
